That feeling when your school has to give a **** about basketball because your football program has never done anything relevant. Haha sorry, couldn't resist. But didn't a terrible UT beat UK this year? Lol

So, by Coug's argument, Coach K needs to be fired.

I guess that's why Roy Williams keeps his job. No one does less with more than him.

Football is loved, but the off-season fosters that love. 24/7 football would be over saturation imo and never work. Football excels now because it's not played from April 1 to Oct 31 or Nov through June. It's nice and short, 5 months compared to 7 months for MLB, 8 months for the NBA.

Perhaps a minor league for football would work in the Fall if it were played in small stadiums on another night, like Fridays or even Wednesdays.

He's also tied Dean Smith in national titles in less time. Not Coach K level but A LOT of schools would guarantee that type of coach's job security and name me the last that was fired due to job performance. (Bobby Knight was fired for player and staff abuse).

I love football. But it's on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays already. I'm good having at least one night off.

oversaturation isn't good.

Watching an NBA D-League game right now and the only reason I haven't changed the channel yet is because I'm typing this message about how absolutely horribe it is. Canton's arena is tiny and the crowd is exceptionally tinier. I don't think D League football would be any different.

"Calipari what resulted in that loss against Indiana in the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament?"

Pretty much sums up his whole coaching philosophy. :)

How do you "overrate" winning a title? Much less two? We haven't won one in the history of our men's basketball program...and we're far from alone. I'm sure someone's "overrated" the feat more "eloquently"...just hard finding a dumbass poet laureate that would. :wink2:

4 Final Fours in 6 tournaments is "doing less?" Haha

Are there recruiters out there better than Calipari? No. Are there coaches out there better than Calipari? Absolutely. He gets the best NBA talent there is than anyone else in the country. When his teams are not clicking, he looks completely lost at times. His success at Kentucky has always been based off his recruiting, not his coaching. Give me a break.

LOL. If you believe that, you need to stop posting about basketball. Comments like the ones below betray your basketball ignorance.

How many coaches do you think are better? Feel free to list them.

That Josh Harrellson, man. Just a stellar recruit. He's clearly the reason UK was in the Final Four that year.

Please explain why you think I'm wrong. This should be interesting.

I don't think he's the best in-game coach in America, but acting like someone like Pearl is better or like Cal is the Larry Coker of basketball is pure idiocy. The guy took UMass to the Final Four.

I never did say Pearl was better cause he's not. If I had to choose one coach who I think is a better coach overall than Calipari would be Rick Pitino. I guarantee if he was still coaching Kentucky and had Calipari's talent to work with, they'd be a contender for a National Championship every year. Of course UK fans will disagree with me but that's what I believe.

I'd take Pitino over Calipari as an in-game coach. I just think the group above Cal is a pretty small one.

You realize that would kill the college game, right?

That would turn it into college baseball. All the top talent, especially the pitchers, go into the minor leagues right out of high school, to be developed. No disrespect to anyone that played it or is in love with it, but in my view other than the CWS college baseball is pretty much unwatchable.
